Highly-rated overnight sitters - Willard
“Tara was Wonderful, Charlie had such a great time in her care. He slept all the way home. I got pictures and she was awesome at answering my questions. We will definitely be back. I cant thank Tara enough. Tara makes going away for the weekend to see my daughter possible. 👍👍👍👍”

“This was our 1st experience with Rover for our senior goldendoodle. Allyson was great, very welcoming, able to take our pup last minute & kept us updated throughout her brief stay including photos. Much appreciated!”

“My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)”

“Val was a 5 star sitter and nothing less. She had so much patience and fun watching my deaf puppy. She fufilled his needs to the fullest. Was very current on updates and photos the whole time. Glad I have someone I trust to watch my fur baby when need be. Thank you Val!”

“Megan and her kids were wonderful! She asked great questions to make sure our pets felt comfortable during the stay at her house. She sent videos and pictures to keep us feeling comfortable throughout the stay. Megan was also flexible with accommodating our schedule for drop off and pick up. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”

About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! I'm currently working full time in Gilman WI, Mon-Thurs 630AM-4PM, Fri 630AM-1030AM. I am mostly available during weekends. The earlier you book with me, the better. I like to plan ahead. I try to be flexible and fit in your pet sitting needs! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.

Cat caregivers near you - Willard
About: Most of my friends call me an animal whisperer. I love pets and always have. Born and raised on a farm, animals are not new to me. I am pretty well versed in loving animals, as well as caring for animals as they deserve. I am currently home full-time, loving on my own 50 lb. Aussiedoodle, Hans. Hans and I would love to offer our spare time in support of your pet needs. I also am a guinea pig mom to 9 special guinea pigs! Animals are the way to my heart, and I can always make time for one more. Although it doesn't specify caged animals, like guinea pigs, I am happy to pet sit, board, or help with daily care of your caged pets. I do not currently have a fenced yard, but I live on open acres set apart from any close neighbors. Leashes can be used outside of the home to provide ultimate safety and security for your pet. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

“Emily was amazing! We used her cat drop in service in our home. This was our second time using rover to watch our 10 year old cat. Emily did a wonderful job. She provided pictures & detailed updates of the visit and most importantly to us, lots of cat cuddles. I cannot recommend her enough! I look forward to having Emily in our home for any future cat sitting. Thank you so much Emily!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Willard
“My pup stayed for 12 hrs and had so much fun he was snoring before we left the drive. He’s deaf and Tara made sure he was comfy with the other animals and his space. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had dogs since as long as I can remember, and have always loved caring for and playing with them! Not just dogs, but other animals as well. I’ve also helped friends care for and train new puppies and pets. I majored in Behavior Analysis and have worked in an animal behavior lab. I would love to get outside and active with your pets! Being able to spend time with pups and other pets is a dream job, and I can’t wait to make sure your friends are happy and loved when you need me. I work M-F 8-4:30, but am very flexible with my weekend and evening time if you need my help. For doggy daycare, I work from home Mondays and Tuesdays so can accommodate your pets then! I have a very friendly golden retriever at home, as well as a cat who tolerates dogs and mostly keeps to herself. We do not have a fenced in yard, but I am more than willing to walk them as much as needed.
“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

“Emily is great! Very clear that she cares for my dog like her own and I love the pictures she sends. She even goes above and beyond to give my cat some (very welcome) attention too when picking up/dropping off!”

About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
